@Total Eclipse Thank you!!

@nickdon321 It would amount to breath training. Slow deep breaths to help relax. It takes some focus at first.

Memory issues anybody? Bonus question: Lexapro
Ironman replied to AnxiousinOH's topic in Health Anxiety
Anxiety can have the mind go in different directions, it boils down to attention span/focus. With Lexapro, you'd have to talk to your doctor. I maxed out on that med myself and it did nothing for me. I ended up on Paxil that put on 55 pounds and excessive sweating and bruxism over a period of years. I had to taper off that and onto Cymbalta - and had Paxil lockjaw in the process. Each person reacts differently to medications. -
Dehydration comes back if you stop drinking water (or caffeinated drinks). You have to stay hydrated...not a one-time deal.
-
You're actually focusing on something expecting a disaster, though. I'd gently stretch out the affected muscles.
-
If the tremors come after carrying objects, that's not ALS. That is more or less your muscles not being used to the action...even long after. I just shoveled snow and the muscles on either side of my back get worked to the point I can tremor and shake. The next day, it's sore. I trim my shrubs with an electric trimmer and extend my arms out to trim tall shrubs - my muscles will shake for days because I only do that twice a year. It doesn't sound like ALS.

Welcome, PinkyNikki! You have to be careful with Googling. We can think we have anything it tells us.
-
It's stress. I have a semi-blocked ear (my guess is fluid from a cold). I have had it long enough to know it's not going to do me in. Be careful about what you thinking about - it is causing the panic and stress. That's not good.

Normal digestion does that. It moves though the intestines.
-
Then why are you convinced there is a tumor?
-
If it's that bothersome, then talk to your doctor. Constipation and its pain is not a tumor. I had pains from constipation again today. It's dehydration and gas.
-
They'd be able to see a tumor.
-
How would it be a tumor? They would have said something like that already if it was true.
-
It siounds like you would have lots of energy. I would probably do something to burn off the energy - and take in sports drinks for the salt.

I am not sure what POTs are. It sounds like what you have is anxiety.
